Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

For the crust, in a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar. Using your hands or a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually drizzle cold water over flour mixture. Toss the mixture with a fork to moisten until the dough comes together. Gently gather dough into a ball. On a floured work surface, roll dough out into a circle that is 1-inch larger all around than an upside down 9-inch pie plate. Once rolled, ease dough into a 9-inch pie plate to evenly line the bottom and go up the sides. Fold overhanging dough under itself to form a rim. Transfer to freezer for 10 minutes while preparing filling.

For the filling, in a large bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and salt. Mix in chopped pecans and spoon into chilled pie crust. Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.

While pie is baking, prepare topping. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey and butter over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Stir in pecan halves and remove from heat.
